An 80-year-old woman was thrown from her car during a carjacking in Melbourne early Thursday, police said.

Melbourne police said the woman was leaving her house when a man and woman walked up to her and asked for a ride. Before she could respond, the pair got into the car and ordered her to drive them to a home on Grant Street.

When they arrived at the home on Grant Street, the man tried to grab the 80-year-old woman’s keys, but she refused. The man then walked to the driver’s side of the car and threw the woman out of the vehicle, authorities said.

The man and his accomplice then drove off in the victim’s Lincoln Town Car, police said.

Police said the suspected carjackers were described as a black woman with long hair and a black man with a “scruffy” beard and wearing dark clothing.

The vehicle is a blue 2004 Lincoln Town Car, Florida license plate 314-LUN.
